THIS OR THAT? (Use me for all your Should I Buy...? questions)

[justinbaily21]

I'm looking for something with at least a mid rise and a little bit looser throughout than a SDA 103. The crotch area must not bunch up or be tight.

S5000 for a looser fit. Size down if you must. But thats the one to get. Or the Jin model. Samurai is the best denim company in the whole world.

875

or 9106

[Robert_Bennett]

I would go for the 875.

[qwertyuiop5]

misposted, sorry

[justinbaily21]

875, definitely.

[zelah]

okay so i have a pair of APCs, but that is not enough

i'm looking for some serious actions. low cut, slim leg, selvage, maybe japanese?

right now i'm considering PBJ xx-005s, maybe dior 19cms

I'm 5'6 145ish pounds if that makes any difference

help me out

Studio d"Artisan 103 or Samurai S0505XX....

I have the SDA's on right now and they are incredible. More of an urban, sophistocated look. The Samurai's are more "badass" looking and slightly slubbier, but with a zipper fly.

This should be a good guide for you:

I would personally go with the 103's, but it's up to you.

[zelah]

edit: they also have these at big...any idea how they compare to the pbj xx-005s?

[justinbaily21]

The Studio's society's idea of a slim cut, low rise pair of jeans (meaning that they fit), but if you're going for a sufu slim cut low rise the PBJ's are the way to go. From the fades that I have seen I kind of prefer the SDA's...

AF68 or AF72? I will be rocking these with straight leg jap jeans (i.e., not my 19cm's)... keep in mind that they are actually the same color, just different lighting conditions...

AF68:

AF72:

[Roulette]

Get the second ones.

[J_M]

If the colors are the same, I think I like the first pair a little more.

IMHO the second pair seems too dressy to be worn with jeans.

[hoolio]

I've decided to get a pair of Somet slim fit jeans but I'm have trouble deciding which size to get. I might just wait for 29s to come in stock eventually at BiG but the two they have right now that might fit me are:

size 28

waist - 31"

front rise - 8.5"

back rise - 12.5"

upper thigh - 11.25"

knee - 7.5"

leg opening - 6.75"

inseam - 36.5"

size 30

waist - 33"

front rise - 8.25"

back rise - 13"

upper thigh - 11.75"

knee - 8"

leg opening - 7.25"

inseam - 37"

My Acnes that I currently wear are:

Size 30

Waist 31

Length 32

Rise 8.25

Leg Opening 6.75

This is how they look on me:

Since I can't take my actual measurements right now, I can't really see how much my Acnes have stretched. I like the tight fit so I want something slightly similar, although I wouldn't mind slightly looser either. Presently I am currently leaning towards the 28s but I might just hold out for 29s. Thoughts?

[neverletdown]

anyone reccomend a cheaper alternative to the dior 19cm raw black denim? i'd really like to pick some of those up, but i can't justify 300 dollars.

[Contingency Plan]

These both cost the same; I'll be wearing them with greencast indigo Nudies. Black or brown suede?

or

Given my complexion, I'm leaning towards the brown suede more. Thoughts? Thanks!

[carbon]

black one is better for me

[watchman]

i agree. The first pair looks great.

april77?

not an exact fit (if you want the same fit exactly, there's nothing that can replace a dior), but decent - and less pricey.

[fallen angels]

the AF68 for sure

[chronoaug]

April 77 Joey or apc new cures

[Kaze]

Hmm first post been searching around for some japanese jeans and looking into either eternal 811's or sda's. I like my jeans abit more loose then the ppl here, hard time choosing between the two..

[seafinch]

I'm probably going to order some new jeans today...

I can't decide between some APC New Standards or Julian Red Calis...

What do you all think?

[fallen angels]

get the APC New Standards, they are a staple.

[seafinch]

thanks. I was kind of leaning that way, but i wasn't sure.

[zelah]

PBJ XX-005

maybe puma x evisu if i'm feelin stupid

[rhino]

okay, confusion!

should i get APC new cure? Acne? Julian Red calis? or Dior homme?

thanx

[lilodxd]

[fallen angels]

amongst those, i'd say go for the Dior Homme denim. i think they are nice.
